New Art

Hidden Heart by Kim Russell | Sandhill Cranes | Bird Art

Hidden Heart

Hidden Heart

The drawing was inspired by the red patch on the the Sandhill Crane's head.

The featherless red patch is a
familiar identifying feature, but not many are aware of its shape.

The patch curves up in the back to form an inverted V.

When the crane tips its head down, the shape suggests a heart.

Whoopers on the Wing by Kim Russell | Bird Art | Whooping Cranes

Whoopers on the Wing Detail

Whoopers on the Wing

The black feathers of the Whooping Crane's wings are not visible when the bird's wings are tucked in.

When it spreads its wings to fly, the black is a striking contrast to the bird's white plumage.

The unmistakeable black and white wings distinguishes it from Sandhill Cranes and Egrets when it flies overhead.

UW Hospital Art

UW American Family Children's Hospital Project

Art coordinator for the UW Hospitals, Amanda Kron, had a vision for the new floor of the children's hospital.

To support the theme, "Skies Over Wisconsin, Amanda challenged Kim to design and execute hanging sculptures for installation in the elevator hallway.

Working with many safety restrictions, the end result was three cloud formations with birds on each side to welcome visitors as they step off the elevators.
